Two Truths and a Lie - and maybe some drugs

Today, for kicks and giggles (and also because rumor has it that some folks I don't know from SITS might be dropping by), I thought we'd play that fun game "Two truths and a lie" to get to know me better. I know you are excited so let's jump right in.
1. I am exactly like Oprah Winfrey
2. I am exactly like Bill Gates
3. I am exactly like Michelle ObamaYou caught me - they are all true. Here's why. Oprah and I both are from Tennessee, Bill and I both spent our formative years as nerds, and Michelle and I both get criticized when we appear in public wearing shorts.

Freaky, isn't it? Even I am astounded by how much I have in common with the elite of America. Sadly, I currently have quite a bit in common with another celebrity - Amy Winehouse. I know you're jealous. Allow me to explain.
My family's health insurance currently allows us to contribute to a Flex account and then spend the money through the year. We were told we had maxed it out back in the spring. That didn't surprise me since we had hospital bills from my son's black widow spider bite fiasco and then your garden variety annual bills (mammogram, pap smear, colonoscopy - you know, all the fun tests you look forward to with glee). Looking back over our year, I was just glad we made it as far as we did.
Surprise! We received a message last week that we actually had money in our flex account. Quite a bit of money. And it had to be spent by September 14. Today. I looked around at the clan and quickly deduced we thankfully did not need any joint replacements or artificial limbs. I could have been reimbursed for Christian Science practitioner's fees but I didn't know one. Psychiatric care is covered and I sure didn't think anyone would dispute my need for it, but I thought one week to help me would put a little too much stress on even the best doctor.So I did the only thing I knew to do. I armed myself with the approved over-the-counter medication list and went shopping.

Boy, did I go shopping. Our house is now pharmaceutical central. If it is an approved drug, we own it. We own several of it.
I think even Amy would be jealous of my stash. I'm just sad they don't reimburse for make-up. Then I could truly be like her.I'd like to say welcome to all of the fine folks from SITS as well as my beloved regular readers. And if by some chance you don't know what SITS is, do go over and take a look around. I'm made some fantastic friends through that site and hope to make more today.
